Welcome,
I have a brand new grandson named Aedan (Gaelic spelling), 6 weeks old. When my daughter told us we thought it wasn't a very common name, but we've started noticing a lot of people with your spelling.
I also experienced the Aurora, but it was in Finland north of the Arctic Circle up around Rovaniemi during the winter Solstice. Awesome sight.
Where are you stationed here; Peterson, Falcon, USAFA?
'69
Ah, Buckley. We have to run out there next week to get my wife a new ID card reflecting her TFL status since she turns 65 in February.
I used to work for one of the contractors out there, enough said on that subject.
I'm a member at the Aurora Gun Club. It's due east of Buckley, on the east side of E-470.
